Pastrykiller Posted June 11, 2014 Report Posted June 11, 2014 My experience...bad cdi caused me to chase jetting issues. Sputtered on topend and then one day after I parked it to smoke a cig, I started it back up on the first kick and it would run past any throttle position other than 1/8th. Sputtered like it had dropped a needle or firing on a bad cylinder. It never went backwards but it sure in the hell didn't like to go forward. Moral of the story is that a cdi will do all kinds of funky shit. Even when they are shot, it will run and some will not. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk Quote

RollinRhino Posted June 11, 2014 Report Posted June 11, 2014 A friend of mine had a Maico that did that. Turned out the timing was messed up from the flywheel. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Hey, cool! My blaster is so fucked up that it goes backward. Watch how fun it is to go in reverse till I kill it. 1 Quote
Pastrykiller Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Wired an exciter coil backwards on my old polaris 400 scrambler. Forward was reverse and reverse forward. Took out the garage door when it fired up. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk Quote

Onto the flywheel side. Pulled the cover pulled the flyer wheel all looks good so no I'm stumped back to thinking cdi even thow I agree with facts that widycityjohn400 put out.
